Precautions Before Use

3.2.
To ensure that you get the most from your balance, please try to follow these conditions as closely as
possible, especially for the BM-20 and BM-22 that are sensitive.
The best operating temperature is about 20°C / 68°F at about 50% Relative Humidity.
The weighing room should be free of dust.
Clean the weighing chamber and its surroundings to prevent foreign matter from invading,
especially when weighing a very small amount of sample.
The weighing table should be solid and free from vibration, drafts (such as frequently opening
doors or windows) and as level as possible. We recommend that you use the anti-vibration
table (AD-1671) and the remote controller (AD-8922A) for the BM-20 and BM-22.
Do not install the balance where it will be subject to vibration. Corners of rooms on the first floor are best.
Do not install the balance near a heater, air conditioner, or in a breeze. The influence of breezes
can be reduced with the tabletop breeze break (AD-1672).
Do not install the balance in direct sunlight. Avoid excessive temperature changes.
Do not use the balance near other equipment which produces magnetic fields.
Adjust the level of the balance using the leveling feet.
Please warm up the balance for at least one hour. Plug in the AC adapter as usual.
Calibrate the balance if it is installed for the first time or relocated, or when a weighing pan is
replaced.
Ensure a stable power source when using the AC adapter.
Do not place or use the balance where there is flammable or corrosive gas present.
